Annual mass-balance time series of Dongkemadi Glacier, 2000–20, from a linear albedo-based model using geodetic data and validated with the glaciological method

Journal of Glaciology
Long-term time series of annual glacier mass balance is important for revealing a glacier's response to regional climate variations. However, for the Tibetan Plateau, time series of annual glacier mass balance with more than 10 consecutive years remains ...

Sensitivity of mountain glacier mass balance to changes in bare-ice albedo

Annals of Glaciology, 2017
Albedo is an important parameter in the energy balance of bare-ice surfaces and modulates glacier melt rates. The prolongation of the ablation period enforces the albedo feedback and highlights the need for profound knowledge on impacts of bare-ice ...

Temporal downscaling of glaciological mass balance using seasonal observations

Journal of Glaciology, 2023
Glaciological mass-balance measurements have been the backbone of internationally coordinated glacier monitoring. The resulting annual observations have been used to understand glacier reactions to climate change, and to assess both regional and global ...

Mass-balance characteristics of arctic glaciers [PDF]

Annals of Glaciology, 2005
AbstractA survey of available mass-balance data shows that glaciers on arctic islands, i.e. mountain glaciers and ice caps in northern Canada, Greenland, Svalbard and the Eurasian islands, share mass-balance characteristics of low annual amplitude and small interannual variability. By contrast, glaciers around the Arctic (e.g.

Representing moisture fluxes and phase changes in glacier debris cover using a reservoir approach [PDF]

, 2014
Due to the complexity of treating moisture in supraglacial debris, surface energy balance models to date have neglected moisture infiltration and phase changes in the debris layer.

Mass-balance model parameter transferability on a tropical glacier [PDF]

Journal of Glaciology, 2013
AbstractWe explore the small-scale spatial and temporal transferability of model parameters between two points in the ablation zone of tropical Glaciar Shallap, Cordillera Blanca, Peru (9°S, −77° W; ∼4800 m a.s.l.) in order to provide a robust assessment of the performance of a process-based glacier mass-balance model. Relative surface height change is

Recent glacier decline in the Kerguelen Islands (49°S, 69°E) derived from modeling, field observations, and satellite data [PDF]

, 2015
Date of Acceptance: 28/02/2015The retreat of glaciers in the Kerguelen Islands (49°S, 69°E) and their associated climatic causes have been analyzed using field data and Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) satellite images to validate a ...

Glaciers in Svalbard: mass balance, runoff and freshwater flux [PDF]

Polar Research, 2003
Gain or loss of the freshwater stored in Svalbard glaciers has both global implications for sea level and, on a more local scale, impacts upon the hydrology of rivers and the freshwater flux to fjords. This paper gives an overview of the potential runoff from the Svalbard glaciers. The freshwater flux from basins of different scales is quantified.

Extrapolating glacier mass balance to the mountain-range scale: the European Alps 1900–2100 [PDF]

The Cryosphere, 2012
This study addresses the extrapolation of in-situ glacier mass balance measurements to the mountain-range scale and aims at deriving time series of area-averaged mass balance and ice volume change for all glaciers in the European Alps for the period 1900–

An imbalancing act: the delayed dynamic response of the Kaskawulsh Glacier to sustained mass loss

Journal of Glaciology, 2021
The Kaskawulsh Glacier is an iconic outlet draining the icefields of the St. Elias Mountains in Yukon, Canada. We determine and attempt to interpret its catchment-wide mass budget since 2007. Using SPOT5/6/7 data we estimate a 2007–18 geodetic balance of
